Central and South-Eastern Europe
Market Operations for HUPX and SEEPEX
EPEX SPOT supports its Hungarian partner HUPX by providing transparent and reliable reference prices for the local Day-Ahead market.
EPEX SPOT provides market operation services to South-East European Power Exchange SEEPEX. In this context, EPEX SPOT manages the Day-Ahead trading in Serbia and holds 25% of the shares in SEEPEX .
Both cooperative efforts are intended to strengthen the European trading and clearing systems – with a focus on the continuing integration of the Eastern European power market.
4M Market Coupling
From 2014 to mid-2021, EPEX SPOT has operated the 4M Market Coupling on behalf of the local power exchanges, which connected the Day-Ahead markets of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. In so doing, EPEX SPOT enabled the members of these national power exchanges to trade power across borders.
In June 2021, the 4M Market Coupling was coupled with the Multi-Regional Coupling of the Single European Day-Ahead Coupling.
Ireland
Ireland and Northern Ireland had to restructure their electricity markets as a result of the new EU Guideline on Capacity Allocation and Congestion Management (CACM).
Following a tender by the Irish transmission system operators EirGrid and its affiliate SONI for the operation of the Integrated Single Electricity Market in Ireland (I-SEM), EPEX SPOT and its clearing house ECC were selected as their partners. They supported EirGrid and SONI in setting up the new local power exchange SEMOpx, as well as assisting with Day-Ahead and Intraday markets, market coupling, clearing and settlement activities.
